Costa Rica’s 2014 Envision Festival is Here

Envision is one of the most unique festivals in Costa Rica, so interesting, in fact, that is gains international attention. It’s a festival in an isolated area, surrounded by nature. It’s meant for open and artistic minds to come together.

The cultural activities began today and last through the 23rd, at the Rancho La Merced in Uvita. 3,000 tourists will be joining the locals this year, for Envision’s fourth edition. All ages, races, societies, and religions are welcome. The spirit is community and collectivity.

The event features dances, ceremonies, talks, workshops, prayer circles, yoga percussion, and other activities. Yoga is at the heart of Envision. The festival is meant to transform the individuals who will then transform their world.

Music is another essential part of the experience. The English DJ Tipper will be offering presentations throughout the long weekend. The US rock and electronic group Papadosio will be there, as well. The international lineup includes Nahko and Medicine for the People, Random Rab, Phutureprimitive, Rootz Underground, Rising Appalachia, The Funk Hunters, Sasha Rose, DragonFly, Incus and Goosebumpz. Costa Rican talent won’t be forgotten. There will be concerts from Sleepwalker, Cocofunka, Santos & Zurdo, Passiflora, Patterns, Melissa O, Mario Miranda, Javier Portilla, Dread Force and Florian Droids.
